I started bikram yoga 2 days ago and wanted to know if anyone is doing a 30 day challenge. Need some motivation or at least couple times a week. I need a check-in support. Thank you in advance!

I'm not currently doing one, but I have done one before (on my own, not with the studio having one.) I got to 22 days. It was hard without the experience of doing it as a group but it was amazing how great I felt (and I actually loved pulling doubles!)
I'll cheer you along as you do it though!0 -
Thank you sweet Shannon, love your support here. I may sound like a pest but I am learning and need all the knowledge to stay focus and stay motivated. I need to get it together as my hubby is cheering for me, 7 lbs I put on in a year and I want to bury the fat! I appreciate your comments.
Great day to you,

I did a 30 day challenge. It was really hard for me to schedule all of the classes. I thought that I would feel amazing afterwards, but really I just felt tired. I was definitely stronger and felt really connected to the community at my studio (I was seeing them enough :-). I definitely will do it again, but need to wait until there is more that one class I can make a day due to work, etc.
Remember to keep hydrated. Enjoy and let us know how it goes :-)0 -
Thank you, getting better but challenging due to work schedule, so far Day 4 completed~0

WTG! keep it up and let us know how you are doing0

I'm thinking about starting a 30 day challenge tomorrow or this weekend, but could also use some support to keep me motivated! I've been practicing Bikram since November, but am lucky to make it to 3-4 classes a week usually so this is going to be very challenging for me!
Also- way to go on making it to day 4 (actually you're probably on day 6 by now).. so close to being 1/3 of the way through it!

I have completed 6 days to date, started on March 2, 2013 as a newbie. Juggling with work schedule and sneaking out of meetings such a challenge. I was hoping to practice only after work but the classes are crowded and I am trying really hard with the smell. My apetite has increased and it would be best for me to practice late in the afternoons to prevent going over calories but schedules are pretty difficult.
Anyone wants to log-in and share their daily workout, please do. I can certainly appreciate all the help.

Congrats on day 6! It is definitely hard scheduling them all in. When I did mine, I did double classes on the weekend to give myself some room during the week. But in the end, it just became too difficult!
Keep up the good work!0 -
Thank you so much. I am on day 7 and hoping to continue and stay strong. Unfortunately feeling illl but talking classes as early as possible to prevent me from not attending classes. This freaking 7 lbs are like hell. I hope my scale reading is better by my Monday!0

Great news about my progress after completing 9 days!
I can touch my stomach on my thighs during the stretching pose...
I can now touch my head all the way to my knees on sit up.
I can now put my head on the floor on the standing separate leg sretching pose.
It feels great, weight is still steady from 107-108..;0(0 -

Well Done, I just started last week and I am on my 7th day. I really hope to last. I am already seeing my body change. Good luck to you.0 -
Adrianna:
Thank you for your sweet message. Happy to see your encouragement. Keep it going, remember after 20 days you will create a habit and you will feel much better. Scheduling your bikram yoga class the day before will help you. Last week was the hardest in planning with my work schedule, not eating exercise calorie and telling myself the smell will get better...Less coaching from the teacher in terms of my alignment.
Quite a bit of cramps on my legs last week but teacher advised me to put elecrolytes on my water or coconut water. Great tip. Keep up the great work!0 -
Day 13 done. I will be logging in daily to keep myself motivated and I am hoping to start calories under after tomorrow. Calories 1200 after tomorrow!0

Classes are getting better and I am in routine which is a plus! In addition, I now bought GNC lean shake 25 Rich chocolate to keep calories down for the next 15 days for lunch meals only. I am not as hungry as I use to be, but I need more work on calories and diet. Let me know when you start. Love to see have anotther person join me for the challenge!0 -
Day 14 done and calories in check. Have a great night everyone!0

Day 16 done and stronger than ever. Calories kept @ 1200, hope the scale starts moving soon...:flowerforyou:0

Training is going well. I try to post on this site, but I use a Garmin GPS/HRM and their website for detailed logging of training. I am following their routine for half marathon that is 16 weeks in length. Their calender includes yoga once a week as part of the training. Will post Thur. results after 1st session.0 -

WOW. I did not snap w/ the 30 day challenge. Your going for 30 consecutive days? That's amazing. I going on three weeks of avoiding my first class. Now I have been shamed into going. You must be seeing results w/ 18 classes done. Awesome job.0 -

If needed, you can always do two classes to catch-up. Tomorrow will be my 20 day completion. Guess what, I am going for the 60 day challenge. Would you be willing to give me daily support and I am happy to reciprocate? Let me know....;0)0 -

Thank you. Unfortunately after completing my 27 days, my baker's cyst swell up and got worst. I did not complete 30 days due to my injury and orthopedic appt. this week. Thank you for asking, I am disappointed with myself but it is better to rest. Please know that I did enjoy the classes and noticed a huge difference on my body. Scale the same...;0(0 -

You are very sweet. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Well, thank you, much appreciate it. You know I was feeling like a failure having to quit and numerous negative thoughts, but I realized that this was my second injury this year, with 3 baker's cyst. Not worth it. I will definitely will add additional yoga to my routine once I am back to normal. Ortho appt. on 4/15/13 for an evaluation..0
